The Clare County Transit Authority will provide shuttle service from Clare to the Yoder farm on both Friday and Saturday. Shuttle locations are at the Doherty Hotel, Big Boy Restaurant, and the parking lot between Town & Country restaurant, Curves and Wood's Household. Shuttles will run each hour on Friday, and every half hour on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This service is free to the public, however donations are welcomed.
